The Real Thing (2x8)

Data de estreia: Set 07, 2011

Zac is delirious with joy. All his dreams have come true because Henry Mallet – the real, living, breathing, 60 year old Henry Mallet – just knocked on his door. He’s not dead! He’s been living incognito in Geneva for the last thirty years, eating cheese and breeding schnauzers. Zac may be in seventh heaven, but Suzy is seriously confused.
